All-star pro-housing team prepared a note suggesting how SANDAG, San Diego's regional planning body, should designate which transit stops are eligible for SB 79, and therefore, more housing!
@mnolangray San Diego also experienced racial covenants, redlining, intentional displacement in certain places, polluting uses allowed in Chicano nβhoods, and disinvestment in BIPOC communities, to name a few unethical decisions
Not perfect but were/are our leaders as bad as LA?
I hope not
@mnolangray Lots of YIMBYs showed up to speak in support too! A staff committee and local NIMBYs were pushing for a smaller project, but pro-housing voices won out.

@aarmlovi I chaired SDβs planning board for Downtown. High density residential is allowed & being built. The city is constantly creating new developer incentives too.
However, there are still many parking lots/underutilized sites. Itβs a different category of issues holding us back IMO
